Happy Mothers’ Day–whether you want to be a mother or not.  You may soon have no choice.

The 49-Year Crusade To Overturn Roe v Wade.  The Federalist Society, yet another pox on America:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell still remembers the shock he felt when Donald Trump won the 2016 election. He also recalls what happened next.

“The first thing that came to my mind was the Supreme Court,” McConnell said in an interview this past week, remembering his reaction that night as he watched results from a basement office at the National Republican Senatorial Committee. He soon called Donald McGahn, campaign counsel to the president-elect, who was slated to become the top White House lawyer.

A week later, Leonard Leo, the head of the conservative Federalist Society and a McConnell ally, was sitting with the president-elect and his advisers in Trump Tower in New York with a list of six potential conservative nominees alphabetically typed onto a piece of personalized stationery, according to people familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal discussions.

As incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus and Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, came in and out of the room, Leo laid out a road map for Trump on the federal court system, potentially transforming the foundational understanding of rights in America.

Trump Proposed Launching Missiles Into Mexico.  You know, to destroy ‘drug labs and the cartels’.  And then blame it on someone else.  Brilliant.  The excerpts from this upcoming book from former Defense Secretary Esper demonstrate Trump’s utter insanity.  Won’t matter.

Clarence Thomas To Abortion Rights Supporters: ‘Deal With It’.  He has truly been a radical on the Supreme Court.  Trying to remember, who ran those Senate hearings on Thomas?

Should Delaware Be The First State To Hold Presidential Primary In 2024?  Uh, no. Either Biden will run for reelection, or his endorsement, should he make one, will carry too much weight.  Besides, Delaware? Why?

What do you want to talk about?
